A large-scale graphical and gameplay overhaul of Jedi Academy. Medium of Darkness features brand new content including alterations to weapons, powers and even movement mechanics. Medium of Darkness began as solely a graphical mod, however has since become a testbed for developing new coding skills. MoD will eventually be broken down and divided into a series of gameplay altering mods, each with unique content. The non-gameplay altering sections will also be released separately so that players can experience the graphical changes with JKA's gameplay. Medium of Darkness will be divided into two major sections: One set inside the Star Wars universe, and one with a fantasy theme. Each section will contain different sets of content from MoD.
In Medium of Darkness, high-powered jetpacks are used to rapidly scale the tall buildings of Coruscant and jump over otherwise impassable gaps. Specialised Imperial Commando units are amongst the non-player enemies you will face, each with unique and deadly skills. Jumptroopers excel in manoeuvrability and surprise tactics, jumping in and out of battle and covering a wide area.
Sentry class players with a "Skirmish" specialisation may also use these jetpacks. While base JKA's jetpack provide fairly slow but long range flight, the Jumptrooper jetpack gives a short, powerful burst of thrust perfect for covering distance quickly. However, the jetpack's maximum range is short and must be allowed to fully recharge before another jump can be initiated. Additional upgrades include increased thrust time and faster recharging.
